Michael D'Angelo Landscape Architecture LLC is a Boston landscape-architecture practice built for design-led residential projects — patios, pools, rooftop decks, custom water features — with a typical job running $50,000 to $1 million. Michael D'Angelo has run the firm since 2014, and Houzz has recognized it with five awards. The firm's Houzz page shows 5.0 stars across all ten reviews on file, several written by architects who collaborated with D'Angelo on projects rather than by homeowners themselves. In a 2020 review, one client described him redesigning a sunken garden for a South End brownstone, managing everything "from design to bid to construction oversight." A 2016 review credits him with turning a run-down back entrance into a bluestone patio and brick auto court, applying an "urban sensibility" to a tight city lot. A more recent 2022 review called a backyard project "amazing" and praised the on-time, reasonably priced delivery. Houzz lists licensure across Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine as the firm's own claim, not independently verified — worth confirming current state registration directly. The Better Business Bureau rates the firm A+, though it's a single-employee LLC with no reviews or complaints published on that page. A strong fit for a design-heavy, higher-budget landscape project — patios, pools, custom hardscape — especially given the firm's track record with both homeowners and fellow architects.

I hired this company to do some work in my backyard and they exceeded my expectations. They were polite, professional, and easy to work with. The work was done on time and for a reasonable price. I was so impressed with the work you did and it looks amazing! I'm very happy with the results
Mike redesigned an outdoor sunken garden for my South End brownstone. I was looking for a modern aesthetic in a small space. He did a great job incorporating all of the elements I was looking for. He was timely, responsive, and helped managed all elements of the project from design to bid to construction oversight. A real pleasure to work with.
Michael did a great job collaborating with our firm in designing the landscape for a new house completed in the Boston Suburbs in 2018. Michael worked directly with the Client, but he was eager to understand the architectural design and have the landscape become an extension of the house. This was particularly true with Michael’s design of the terrace, with seating and plantings that created a continuity of the family room. I highly recommend Michael for his hard work and talented aesthetic.
Mike is a talented, well rounded landscape architect that knows all aspects of the profession. He is detailed oriented, client focused and above all passionate about his craft. I would highly recommend MDLA for your project.
Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. He got to know us and our needs/wants, proposed a beautiful design, helped us run a brief but thorough bid process and select a great contractor, and managed the implementation to make sure it got implemented flawlessly while still being efficient with his time and diplomatic/fair to all involved. Throughout the process, he was responsive, patient, organized, and passionate about delivering a great result. And he did it all with a cheerful demeanor that things more enjoyable for everyone involved. And most importantly, the end result is magnificent! Highly recommended.
